My Jamaican friends introduced me to something like this, called Sorrel.
Here's a recipe:

and a video:

The author of the linked recipe describes sorrel and hibiscus as
different flowers, but producing a similar drink.

Good stuff, tart/sweet and refreshing. Some Caribbean restaurants will
have it on the menu. We found it at Island Soul, here in Seattle.
